Reno-Tahoe Open Underway at Montreux Golf Course

The 15th annual Reno-Tahoe Open is now underway at Montreux Golf Course. Top players in the PGA tournament will split up a $3 million purse.

Practice rounds take place through Tuesday with the official pro-ams taking place Monday and Wednesday. Tournament play begins Thursday.

The RTO is broadcast live on the GOLF CHANNEL from 3:30pm-5:30pm PST Thursday and Friday - and 3:30pm-6pm PST Saturday - and from 4pm-6pm PST Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Food Bank of Northern Nevada is making it easier to attend while collecting for those in need.

Event parking normally costs $5, but if you bring two or more non-perishable items to the Food Bank, you can park free.

All parking will be available at Galena high School, located off Mt. Rose Highway, and free shuttles to Montreux will be provided.

"Carpooling not only eases traffic congestion, but also allows the Reno-Tahoe Open to take part in preserving the great outdoors, and donating food for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada helps us and our guests give back to this great community," says Chris Hoff, executive director for the Reno-Tahoe Open.
